The arrival of children can change a couple's relationship
Many would agree that having children is one of the greatest joys of life. They also know that children can change a marriage in unexpected ways. Some keys to success are 1. be patient, the Bible says that love doesn't look for its own interests, 2. reaffirm your love for each other , 3. communicate and support each other (Proverbs 13:10). A couple can also deepen the love they feel for each other by expressing appreciation for what the other does.

La llegada de los hijos puede cambiar la relación de pareja
Muchas personas consideran que tener hijos es una de las mayores alegrías de la vida. También saben que su matrimonio puede cambiar de forma inesperada después de la llegada de los niños. Unas claves para el éxito son: 1. tengan paciencia, la Biblia dice que el amor no busca sus propios intereses, 2. reafirmen su amor mutuo, 3. comuníquense y apóyense el uno al otro (Proverbios 13:10). Los cónyuges también pueden profundizar su amor agradeciendo lo que el otro hace.

Hi Cogu! Here is a correction audio for you. I was very critical. Don't think that your Engish is bad - it certainly isn't. 
¡Gracias por todos!

I would like to say how much I appreciate this opportunity, as I really have no other opportunity to have my pronunciation evaluated. If possible a general comment in addition to the errors would be appreciated (eg- unintelligible, understandable but painful to listen to, understandable with just a bad accent, etc.) I know my cadence is not quite right, and that I cannot seem to say intereses or cónyuges right at a minimum (and mispronounced the first "llegada"), but any sounds I consistently do wrong would be appreciated. I do not have a musical "ear" so listening to sound files and trying to figure out what I am doing differently has not been very successful for me.
Again, I think this is a truly wonderful addition to the services offered here, and I am sorry I missed the first few.
As promised!.

*l said ''persones'' instead of ''personas'' in the end, sorry about that!
Thank you so much Kiwi & Julian ^_^
This is my second attempt: Second-attempt
I still have a lot to improve, but I hope to have done better specially in the mistakes I did previously, at least with some of them. I'll have probably made others, though
Anyway, your suggestions help a lot.
Sorry if the recording is not very clear, I cannot speak aloud in this moment.
Aquí está lo mío, he grabado los dos idiomas en la misma grabación, me parece más fácil - ¿qué opináis todos vosotros?
Here is mine, I recorded both languages in the same recording, it seems easier to me - what does everyone think?
